[/floatr]I know showbiz gossip is a low quality pastime but I can't help but be interested in one recent report. The weekly Shukan Bunshun is saying that NHK weather girl Sae Nakarai had an adulterous affair with baseball pitcher Yoshinori Tateyama, currently signed to the Texas Rangers. Both sides have issued denials. Nakarai is one of the best-known faces on TV and popular with a wide cross section of the public. NHK takes a dim view of anyone caught up in this kind of scandal so her career will be on the line if the story has any substance.
